Grand Rapids-based OST, which is short for Open Systems Technologies, has hired 30 people over the last year and its newly formed Ann Arbor office is the beneficiary of many of those hires.
The IT firm's Ann Arbor office, which was opened a year ago, now stands at 10 people and is growing. The company employs 120 people and is looking at opening a Detroit office, too. The company's leadership expects all of its locations to continue to grow, especially its Ann Arbor office.
"We are very bullish in that respect," says Rob Kellner, application development principal for
OST. "The next step is talent acquisition. We need to hire more people."
OST provides tech services, such as IT and database security. Its client list includes
Thomson Reuters,
Sterling Commercial Credit and
ProQuest. OST's Ann Arbor office focuses on providing services for IT, data security and other sectors of the tech industry.
"It (the Ann Arbor office) has grown a little faster than we expected," Kellner says.
